On Sunday September 19th 2010 I went out to my first Drift Mania Canadian Championship (DMCC) event, which just so happened to be their final East event of the year.
I had the long lens on the camera for most of the day which worked a treat for catching the action from the stands, and today’s coverage is what I caught in the qualifying rounds.
A lot of people have been saying that the course was not as fast as it could have been, but I still had a great time watching all of the drivers try and figure out the technical, multi-elevation course.
Furthermore I’m still a ‘noob’ when it comes to this drifting business so I will take what I can get, and anytime I can go out and support Pat Cyr and Drift Posse I am going to do it.
The Lineup
I’m going to do my best here to name the drivers who’s photos I took, if I miss label any please let me know.
Chris St John, one of the guys from CSCSKevin GrenierClaude Poirier I believeBob Patinka in his glassless 240sxMats Baribeau's Gold in the net Mark IIDany BernierThis one is easy, Pat Cyr
Onto the action
As previously mentioned the track was pretty tricky with all of the elevation changes. A lot of drivers came in too hot and paid with spin outs and off track excursions.
The opposite side stands, where the judges wereChris was having a little trouble Sunday but I am sure he will redeem himself this SundayIf this was golf people would be fixing lots of divotsFrom entry this bumper was held on by zip tiesI thought it was a goner but it held fastWhat would a drift event be without a bumper separation?Frédéric Girard in his Rock Star 240sxHe was driving well and made it through to the finalsKevin on itNice angle hereThis v8 in this car screamedSliding one of the early turns in the courseJean-François Chiasson Nice and sidewaysDanny Bernier putting that work inSee all the matching shirts in the crowd? They were all rooting hard for this carThis was one of my favorite turns of the course to take pictures of if you have not noticedWas really hoping to get a shot like this that daySaw a lot of this big Mark II from Importfest getting sidewaysMatt Waldin was having an exceptional dayNo bumper no carePat's car sounds awesome and he came out fastSince his car was smaller he could get it very sideways on the tight courseThis is one of my favorite shots, car looks so pissed off
Check back tomorrow for Show & Shine pictures and Thursday for pictures from the finals, and perhaps check this page later for some photos I may or may not have forgot to add.
